Thank you Jocelyn @ Kelly and Hall. I really enjoyed this book. I read it in a week or so. I looked forward to reading it each night. It is about Chloe who works for an adoption agency placing newborns with adoptive parents. It is an interesting book with a bit of drama when a child ends up missing. It gives a glimpse into the lives of the adoptive parents, the birth parent(s), and the life of Chloe in the middle of it all. It read a little bit like a Jodi Piccoult novel, and I say that loosely because I don't think the writing was the same. But the writing was enjoyable and flowed well. I would recommend the book and the author. I found the characters real to life and I enjoyed the Portland, Oregon setting. I enjoyed the drama without tears. I also was happy the book was a quick read and wasn't cluttered up with a bunch of writing for the sake of writing. If you know what I mean.

This sounds like a wonderful book. I have always been interested in the adoption process and think it's wonderful when a child finds a home in this way. Your review is great. I'm listing this book at the top of my TBR list and will be purchasing a copy soon (I hope!)
